Big Brother's growing bigger and bigger. It's so sad and terrifying to watch the U.S. deteriorate in a Soviet-style system.

“About how much do you think this house and lot, apartment, or mobile home would sell for if it were for sale?”

My answer: Depends on how much inflation the Fed is creating.

If I get one I will never ever send it back in.

So what do you do if you get one? ‘Accidentally’ throw it away with the other junk mail? If questioned why you haven’t turned it in, respond with “I never got one,” or something to that effect? The answers to these questions are none of their business!

I can see this questionnaire finding out that I do indeed have a flush toilet...firsthand.

Do not use this as a bellweather of encroaching socialism. It sounds like the same expanded census questionnaire we were singled out for in the 2000 census. Beyond determining the number of folks on our side of the door for apportionment purposes, it’s none of their damned business (constitutionwise). With regard to confidentiality, I would not report anything that I wasn’t willing to have published on the front page of the local paper (especially with the White House running the Census). With government, there is no privacy, and those that take the government’s word re. how they do not disclose info are....(well, not fools, that’s hardly charitable), a bit too trusting for their own good.

I am one of three million and they are not going to like my answers. I kept scratching out putting other answers. It is not going to be simple to decode.

During the 1990 census we got the long form, the questions don’t seem any different than they were then.

We need better choices in candidates from the Republican Party. We already know that the Democrats will offer commies. But the Republican Party should offer candidates other than big-spending fascists, who work for foreign enemies (globalism: CFR members, and the like) and Democrats (”compassionate conservatism, compromises, etc.), the NEA, and so on.

The plans for that census have been around for longer than five months, BTW.

I'd fill it out just like I use to with those nonsense drug surveys back in high school...

Home Value: $5,000,000

Income: $1,000,000 # of toilets: None (1 outhouse) # phones: 30 Do I get food stamps: Yes

You get the picture...

So, if you are two people living in a large house with four bedrooms and three baths then maybe that will be “too many”, more than your fair share or making too big a carbon footprint...so, maybe it is your duty to let others who are “less fortunate, through no fault of their own” live under your roof (rent free) sort of like in Dr. Zhivago. How else would a “loving” comrade be expected to act?

I may be wrong, someone correct me if I am, but I remember back in the 2000 census their was a story to the effect that although they always threaten that you can be fined for not answering or giving untrue answers, the fact is that not one person has every actually been fined for refusing the census or answering falsely.

I’m surprised the first question isn’t, “Do you own any guns and if so, are they loaded?” I’m certain they would think twice coming to a door that answered “YES”.

They’re only entitled to know how many people live in oyur house. I didn’t answer any of the rest of teh questions last time (except race — for which I wrote “human”) and don’t intend to answer them this time.

I lie like he77 on census forms....I’m often a hispanic, high school dropout, union worker, making $300,000.

Wait that’s not a lie....That’s a normal firefighter wage in San Francisco.

But the good news is if you have bizarre sexual orientations toward census workers then you are protected!

Put the most outrageous answers you can think of on it and send it back.

LOL, all they get from me is the basic demographics - - number of people in the household, their age, and their sex. On every other question I lie.
